Rebirth of my C3a1

I am trying to figure out this Photobucket thing, so bear with me! I thought I would post a few pics of old faithful.
Here are the specs;
Parker-Hale C3 action

Near rail
TPS rings
Leupold Mark 4 8.5-25x50
A.I.C.S. 10rd. mag conversion
M-24 sling
Mcmillan A2 with adjustable cheekrest
Eagle stock pack

Holy cow! Very attractive ! You done very well !! A very faithful representation. I like how you worked in the AICS magazine conversion, too. At least you know you can always buy more AICS magazines and they are also great quality.

Cheers,
Barney

Is your bolt handle standard? I like that fire arm - very nice.

 

[Blackcloud]

Who did your work? Very nice and looks very well assembled.

P-H Mike, nice work. i have the stock and would like to also make a C3 clone. Do you know where I can obtain a P-H action. How about the mag and bottom wardware?

Regards,

Peter

Fantastic!

Jim Dugan from Saskatoon is the smith who built it. I applied the Armacoat, made the bolt handle and the mag conversion, currently this is just the prototype, I am working on version 2 for the mag setup. As for an action, I can't help you there.

Excellent Job, got me thinking again, and that gets expensive.

Now that is a rifle! Good work!

Isn't the action the same as the PH 1200? I've got a PH 1200 in .300 Win mag that uses the same 5 rd detachable mag as the C3. I was kind of surprised when I looked at a couple of the C3's at my unit that they used a long action.

It would be nice to build a C3 clone in .300 Win Mag.

That's a nice lookin' bolt handle, almost thought is was Badger Ord unit that you had checkered.

Very nice rig.

Love to know more about the mag conversion. Pics too.

Looks good Mike, 43 to 44.5g of Varget with a 175g MK and 210M's should do the trick too... Look out for our Regina buddy's load of 47 to 48g, probably will pop the primers on that min spec chamber of yours

 

[Parker-Hale Mike]

Been there, tried that Keith...went all bad at just over 46 oops. Oh well it seems to like it at 43.5 the best anyhow. Are you coming out here in June with Bill and company?

 

[Kodiak99317]

Probably not Mike, I use a front rest so that rules me out of your shoot from what I have read in the rules, plus busy here at Nokomis on June 9-10 and June 30-July 1 for matches and I'm on call (f$%^$) from June 15 to June 28th, I hate this on call stuff, gets in the way of my shooting!
